Before the Nile River flows into Egypt it passes through six rapids called the Nile Cataracts. These cataracts occur where the river flows between steep cliffs, causing the current to become swift and rough. The Sixth Cataract is downstream from the present-day city of Khartoum in the Sudan. The First Cataract is hundreds of miles farther north at a place known in ancient times as Elephantine. This cataract was the traditional southern boundary of ancient Egypt and served as a natural barrier to outsiders trying to enter Egypt from the south. Puzzling Behavior of the Nile The behavior of the Nile puzzled the people of ancient Egypt, as well as ancient Greeks and Romans.
